Non-linear growth trends of toe flexor muscle strength among children, adolescents, and young adults: a cross-sectional study

Purpose There are only a few studies on the muscular strength of the foot in children and adolescents; thus, the developmental pattern and normative data of these populations during growth are unclear. We sought to elucidate the developmental pattern of the foot muscle strength among children, adolescents, and young adults compared with that of the hand.
